The Fan & The CriticEp 68 - Christmas Movie Trivia (feat. Ben)Instagram: thefanandthecritic
On this episode, Carson wildly overestimates how much other people know about Christmas movies by creating trivia questions that no one knows the answers to. He is also shocked that not everyone has watched Scrooged (1988) over 20 times each.

The Fan & The CriticEp 65 - Andor S2 and Rogue One revisitedInstagram: thefanandthecritic
10 years ago Rogue One was released to theatres and created strongly divided opinions between the Fan and the Critic. More recently, Andor season 2 was released and was received well by both. Perhaps it is time to revisit Rogue One and see if the passage of time yields a more favourable response. Will the Critic walk back his hatred? Will the Fan be less hyped?

We forget to say it during the episode, but SPOILER WARNING. If you're going to put in the time to listen to this episode we suggest you just go the extra mile and watch One Cut of the Dead before you do.
